Previous post Courtesy likesCourtesy likes are a powerful social technology! Developed by "tpot" during the 2020 lockdowns*, they were originally incentivized by algorithmic boost to post with likes and especially post where the author had liked replies to their post. This created a tightly connected subnetwork, or sort of a "likes cartel," which then metastasized due to Twitter's simcluster algorithm at the time. The system is easy: if you see a post, and you don't hate it, just click like on it. If you reply to a post, click like on it. If someone replies to you, click like on it. If you retweet a post, click like on it, and if you quote a post, definitely click like on it, unless you're trying to send a signal that you're starting beef. Even if you actually dislike the post, you can click like on it! it's a great way to get a small hit of dopamine and acknowledge receipt, without having to think of actual words. Generally provides a sense of presence and community that is otherwise hard to find when writing online. If you're reading this, you can join this culture by liking this post, or the one I'm quoting. maybe we can make this a norm here in general? But it's up to everybody to figure it out *Arguably, it was the courtesy like that developed the tpot! · [part 2](https://delve.town/profile/did:plc:hr6mywilgrfqqvoxo6t4ldo2/post/3mxx5kbvnnc2u)" ] Next post Deep fates programWelcome to the deep fates program
